In The Dark S1 E3
“Tell me you and Mary went to fish in troubled waters?” Jude asked as his eyes turned sky blue again.
“Well, it wasn't entirely unsuccessful, it became a trouble with the Clef clan.We merely went to investigate a threat of other families teaming up to take power from us.”
Jude was surprised by the news. Could it be possible that a coup was cooking under his nose with him not knowing until now.
He hid his curiosity and asked after Mary instead, “Then I guess this is you trying to make me your temporal suicide squad member in getting to rescue our sister back?”
“Nope. Father...” Andre was interrupted as they both noticed Abigail materialize in front of them. Abigail was the family's witch of age seven. She was a descendant of the First witches.
“Your father summons you both, ”Abigail said.
Jude moved closer to her and said, “Shall we?”
Abigail rubbed her right thumb with her index finger and they appeared instantly in front of the Walker mansion. Abigail wore a black trouser with black high heels shoe and a black jacket to conceal what she wore within. She took confident strides as she lead Jude and Andre towards the mansion. On reaching the entrance, the vampire elite guards of the Walker mansion opened the door to reveal the great hall. A 30 feet table was set in between and at the end of the table stood a white haired man in dark suit with hands folded behind him. His name was Han Walker. He turned and motioned for all of them to seat and he took a seat beside Andre, facing Abigail.
“Gentlemen and lady, thanks for coming. Jude your brother just brought reports concerning your elder sister. I know it was a wreckless act for her to have gone into the Clef mansion alone but news of the possibility of her being in trouble frightens me so I have sanctioned a temporal show of force against the Clef clan to get your sister back.”
“Did Andre tell you what they went to investigate there in the first place?” Jude asked
“I was briefed properly on the situation Jude, I know you hate missions like this but to show the extent of my desperation, it's a mission that must be carried out today. Don't fret. Abigail would be going with you.”
Jude wanted to impose more on the subject but knowing his father's heart was cold as iron on the matter, he buried all hopes of fighting him on this one and decided to go with Abigail and Andre. Abigail moved her gaze from Andre to Jude and rub her fingers as Han watched them disappear. They appeared in front of the Clef mansion. The vampire guards who saw them stared at them thinking it was an official visit from Han to their Chief when Abigail fisted her right hand and the necks of all the guards snapped at once. They walked into the Clef mansion without any opposition and stayed put at the middle of the great hall as the doors closed behind them and they were surrounded by the Elite guards of the Clef mansion. The Chief of the Clef clan, ‘Robert Clef’ walked in with seven of his sons behind him and guards beside him.
“We're done for,” Andre said.
Jude looked round and smiled as he replied his brother, “Indeed.”
Jude took two steps forward and said, “Good evening. We're sorry for the intrusion but we've been asked to retrieve our sister who is being held in your custody and return home and we've been sanctioned to use force if necessary but if we mutually agree not to use force, then no one has to get hurt.”
“As gracious as your request is, I am sorry but I have to stamp a firm foot on this one. Your sister came into my home and acted the savage by killing lots of my men before we put her down and now you're here making pleas on her behalf with talks of using force if necessary,” Robert said.
“My apologies but...” Robert interrupted Jude.
“Too late for apologies. My house, my rules. Kill them,” Robert said to his guards and turned, while they began to close in on Jude, Andre and Abigail. The hall began to shake making the incoming vampires stop dead in their tracks. The wooden seats and tables in the hall exploded into little splinters and surrounded Jude, Andre and Abigail. ‘It definitely was Abigail's doing’ Jude thought as he sighed a sigh of relief while Andre began to talk.
“So here's how this is going to play, now we're suitably motivated. You're gonna release our sister else Abigail gets to kill you all. Clearly you've inflamed her temper so best get on with the task of releasing our sister else Abigail could...let's say kill five of you...” Andre motioned to Abigail who sent several splinters of wood flying towards the vampire guards beside Robert. It went through their heart killing them instantly and Andre continued, “... or you could hand over our sister and we leave.”
Abigail didn't expect a quick response from the Chief, so she went after her contingency plan which was already in play. Mary Walker, the first child and first daughter of the Walker family felt a surge of power flow through her even as she was bound up in chains in the Clef mansion dungeon. She broke free of the chains and in a space of five secs, she had removed the heads and hearts of the ten vampire guards sent to keep an eye on her. She punched the cell door down and walked out of the cell she was locked in.
The Chief motioned for a guard to give orders for the release of Mary. The guard went to do as he was bid but when he opened the door leading to the dungeons, Mary was before him and she easily tore out his heart which she threw across the room. Some guards wanted to retaliate for the killing of one of theirs but the Chief raised his hands, restraining them. Mary walked to the center of the room to meet her brother's and Abigail with an expressionless look as Abigail dropped all the floating splinters of wood to the ground with her mind. She gently said to Abigail “Let's go Gail.” Abigail rubbed her fingers and they vanished.
